Besides this taste and smell experience Atelier Solarshop will also provide 'food-for-thought' and 'candy-for-the-eyes' by hosting two visual artists:



1. The ‘hanging plants’ or ‘string gardens’ of the Dutch-Antillean Fedor Van Der Valk will also be integrated into the project.
This art of gardening is a variation on the 'Kokedama';
a Japanese botanical style where plants are arranged in moss covered balls of soil and then placed in a bowl.

Fedor takes it further; his 'Kokedamas' are floating in the air, creating surreal hanging gardens.

2. ‘Misu-A-Barbe’ is a brand by Korean designer Misu Kim. Her work will be presented during this project. Drawing her inspiration from the special within the ordinary, Misu is using knitwear to communicate her vision.

Her work is shown through installations including sculptures and puppets in site specific environments, proving her regard to be three dimensional.
